About the
Foundation
The Ryan Newman Foundation was established in January 2005 by Ryan and
Krissie Newman to provide philanthropic efforts that would enrich the lives of
people and animals throughout the nation. The foundation has identified three
primary areas of focus:
- To help humane organizations establish and maintain programs that will
reduce the overpopulation and euthanization of abandoned and unwanted dogs
and cats, increase the adoption of homeless pets, provide humane education
to youth and adults, and prevent cruelty to animals while encouraging
collaboration between humane societies, animal rescue groups and animal
control agencies. —Companion Animals
& Animal Welfare
- To help nonprofit organizations in the preservation and conservation of
wildlife and their environment, including but not limited to fish, game
animals and other animals of the woodlands of the United States. —Conservation
& Preservation of Wildlife
- To provide scholarships for students pursuing a degree at a university
or college while continuing their involvement in quarter midget, midget and
Silver Crown auto racing. —Auto Racing
Scholarships
Requests
for Grant Funding or Scholarships
The Ryan Newman Foundation was formed in January 2005. Because the foundation
is in the early stages of development, a grant cycle has not yet been scheduled.
The major goal of the foundation in its first year will be to raise funds for an
endowment from which annual interest will be used to fund nonprofit agencies
through a grant process and students through a scholarship process. Ryan and
Krissie Newman have started the endowment with a generous donation of $200,000.
